Xiao Bai Ma Cessna-182 3CH EPP 436mm Wingspan RTF from Banggood - Part 1: Unboxing and Maiden Flight

I love RC ultra-micro parkflyers. They are so convenient. You can fly them almost anywhere, parks, baseball diamonds, parking lots, some of them even in your backyard. They are also relatively inexpensive and easy to store thanks to their small size. The new ones made out of EPP or EPO foams are quite resilient and almost indestructible (unless you manage to fly them into a tree or under a moving car). 3-channel parkflyers with gyro stabilization are great options for people wanting to learn how to fly RC airplanes. However, finding a good one that is beginner-friendly with great flight characteristics, stability, and ease of control (I call these “buds”) is not trivial. I recently had my share of some “duds” that really disappointed me. However, I have high hopes for the one I am reviewing today, which I purchased from Banggood for $46.23 shipped to my door: https://www.banggood.com/CESSNA-182-3... I am hopeful because I had great experience with a 2-channel airplane that I had reviewed from the same manufacturer:    • Xiao Bai Ma A380 2CH Flat Foam RC Airplane...   Will this strange-looking (those landing gear!) 3-channel Cessna 182 clone impress me as much as my favorite 3-channel parkflyer, Volantex RC Mini Trainstar?    • VolantexRC Mini Trainstar V761-1 3CH RTF f...   Let’s watch the video to find out!
